Killer Escaoes on Trip to County Fair

Spokane Washington authorities say that 57-year-old, Phillip Paul escaped during a hospital field trip. Paul is a potentially dangerous mentally ill killer. He was committed after he was acquitted of murder in 1987 by reason of insanity. He murdered an elderly women, soaked her body in gasoline to throw off the dogs, and buried her remains in her flower garden. He reportedly said that the voices in his head told him that she was a witch. He was caught trying to escape four years later and also knocked a deputy unconscious.

Patients must be cleared by a team of six to 12 clinicians, before they are allowed to go on field trips like going to the store, ball games, fairs, and parks. They get to wear street clothes and don't have to all stay together, but staff members have to keep patients within eyesight at all times. Some fair-goers have said that this is wrong, that they are putting people and children at risk.

I think that this is completely insane, to allow people that are locked up to in a mental hospital to be allowed to go out on outings to the fair and ball games. What are these people who say that they can go do these things going to do when someone gets killed? Like this guy he was able to escape from a county fair while they are supposed to be watched. Now they cannot find him and he has already killed once, claiming the voices in his head told him the lady was a witch.

I feel sorry for that woman's family. If it were me I would be throwing a huge fit, that this killer was able to go on an outing knowing that he had tried to escape years before. He is sup[posed to be locked up in a mental hospital for an obvious mental problem. What ever happened to justice? What is this like oh the poor man needs to be out with the public we will just watch him? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!! Where are their heads? Have they lost their minds???? He killed and elderly women HELLO. This is very frightening for the rest of the world because now we have to watch out for one more killer that could be lurking just outside our doors. Watching us and our families while we are outside. This should never have been an option for some of these murderers.
